Dortmund v Bayern Munich Betting Tips

Dortmund have a big opportunity to close the gap on leaders Bayern Munich some more. They were hammered 5-1 though by Bayern earlier in the season and that was their third loss on the bounce in the Bundesliga against them. BVB have earned just the one league win over Bayern Munich in the last seven meetings so the head to head form is against them (W1 D2 L4). Dortmund are running in great form at the moment though in the top flight, with six wins in their last seven league games (D1) and their defence is doing a tremendous job. They have banked five clean sheets in their last six Bundesliga matches, conceding just the one goal in that sequence. Overall this season they have only conceded the nine home goals on home turf while averaging over three goals per game scored themselves.

Dortmund are on a seven match winning streak at home and are undefeated in their last eleven. 82% of their home league games this season have gone over 2.5 goals so that will be the way to go on Saturday for a price of 4/5 with online betting site Bet365. Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a 6/4 anytime goalscorer option and he has bagged himself a massive 22 league goals this season and fifteen of those have been on home soil. He got their consolation in their league defeat against Bayern earlier in the season. Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel has lost his last five managerial battles with Bayern, but they have played three games in the Saturday evening highlight slot this season and have won them all.

Bayern Munich have the head to head form going then over BVB and their slip up at home against Mainz in midweek came completely out of the blue. They have lost just the two league matches all season, their two defeats coming in their last ten league games. They have posted a W7 D1 L2 record in their last ten though, so it’s hard to criticize them. Bayern have only failed to score in two league matches this season and they have yet to be behind at half time on the road. Away from home they have only conceded the seven league goals this season and they have won four of their last five road games (D1). Their overall away record this season reads W9 D2 L1 and Robert Lewandowski is running as 11/10 outright favourite in the anytime goalscorer market.

Dortmund v Bayern Munich Predictions

At least the Bundesliga title race has been kept interesting by Dortmund and this is a huge game for them. However, you are talking about Bayern Munich here and it’s hard to see them losing back to back matches in the German top flight. They have the form going against BVB to go there and turn in a professional appearance and take the points to pretty much crush the title ambitions of their rivals. Bayern have won their last three at Dortmund with a clean sheet. Away win and over 2.5 goals.
